Korumburra

Nestled amongst the lush green hills of the Strzelecki Ranges, Korumburra is a vibrant country town and an important regional centre for South Gippsland. Originally established following the discovery of coal in the late 1800s, Korumburra grew rapidly as a mining and railway town before developing into the thriving dairy-farming community it is today. Surrounded by beautiful rolling farmland and within easy reach of both the Gippsland coast and Wilsons Promontory, Korumburra combines country charm, history and a growing food and arts scene.

Korumburra offers plenty to discover, from its historic streets and local shops to cafés, restaurants, breweries and markets. One of the town's highlights is Coal Creek Community Park & Museum, a fascinating open-air historical village that recreates life in South Gippsland during the pioneering and coal-mining era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Great Southern Rail Trail begins in Korumburra, with the section towards Leongatha winding through beautiful rolling dairy country and offering an excellent way to experience the surrounding landscape. The town is also ideally positioned for exploring the wider region, with the picturesque village of Loch, the Strzelecki Ranges, Inverloch, Meeniyan, Fish Creek and Wilsons Promontory all within easy reach. With its combination of history, food, country hospitality and spectacular surrounding countryside, Korumburra makes an excellent base for discovering South Gippsland.
